No-Fry Cinnamon Applesauce Doughnuts

Thank you, Kendra, for asking me to do a guest blog for you! It is a pleasure to be here with your followers.

School is back into full swing here at our house and there is beginning to be a fallish nip in the air. Almond harvest is moving steadily along and walnut harvest is coming quickly. I'm always ready for warm, cozy, autumn-y foods and this recipe for No-Fry Cinnamon Applesauce Doughnuts seem tailor-made for the season. I have found that if I time it right, by starting these at noon or shortly after, I can have them hot from the oven by the time carpool drops the children off after 2:30 dismissal.﻿ My mother-in-law shared this recipe with me and we enjoy with happy memories of her. I hope your family likes it as much as we do!

Turn dough onto well-floured board, roll around lightly to coat with Flour (dough will be soft to handle). Gently roll about 1/2-inch thick. Cut with floured 2-1/2 inch doughnut cutter, being careful not to twist the cutter (dough will not rise as high if the cutter is twisted. I don't have a doughnut cutter, so I use my biscuit cutter and a metal salt shaker lid for the centers.

I am doing the photo a day challenge on my blog and just learned that Friday is National Doughnut Day so I went to Pinterest and looked through all the doughnut recipes....this one appealed to me the most. I will certainly credit you on my blog when I post the photo and share your recipe. You can find me at http://adayinthelifeonthefarm.blogspot.com/ Thanks again
